"I am the daughter of Fortitude and ravished every hour from my youth…For
behold, I am understanding, and Science dwelleth with me, they covet and
desire me with infinite appetite; few or none that are earthly have embraced
me, for I am shadowed with the Circle of the Stone and covered with the
morning Clouds. My feet are swifter than the winds and my hands are
sweeter than the dew. My garments are from the beginning and my
dwelling place is in myself. The Lion knoweth not where I walk,
neither do the beasts of the field understand me.
I am deflowered yet a virgin…"http://courtofleaves.org/images/fortitude.jpg
